Our New Home Away From Home

My mom wanted to see some photos of our place... so here ya have it! We found a funished two bedroom/two bathroom condo for our nine month stay here in Arizona. It has worked out great for us so far. Let me see if I can make this simple...

A picture of the entry from the living room.

The door on the left is the entry.

The door on the right is the laundry room

(forgot to get pics of that.. new washer/dryer and spacious!)

Just to the right is the entry to our room.

The left counter space is the kitchen.

Bathroom and closet are to the left.

Ryder's room

Yes it is purple and green... No we can't paint it we are only temporary renters

This bed is such a blessing!

It's like a huge changing table for Ryder!

Looking into the kitchen

The kitchen being so close is great because he plays in there while we cook dinner :)

I love it! My favorite part was all of the food in the pantry. How nice it must be to go out and actually full out grocery shop since you are going to be there for an extended period of time. I'm so jealous!

Beautiful place! And the pantry- such a blessing! Oh the baseball days of shoving food into cabinets and on top of the fridge...forgot how much fun that was! Great set up for the next 9 months. Happy Rehabing!

Great photos, what a beautiful apartment! I found your blog through the BlogFrog network and wanted to say hello and welcome. So nice to discover your site. Hope you enjoy your 9-month stay in Phoenix!

About Us

September 29th, 2007 I married the man of my dreams and less then a year later on August 25th, 2008 we welcome our little man, Ryder Lee, into our family. Derrik plays minor league baseball for the Cincinnati Reds so we knew our family was destined to move all over the country at a moments notice chasing a dream. What we did not plan for was elbow surgery in June 2009 requiring a twelve month rehab, and we were even more shocked when he had to have the surgery again in July 2010 requiring us to live in Arizona, on the other side of the country from all friends and family, for another twelve months. What better to do when you have twelve months stuck in Arizona with nothing to do… have a baby!!! Instead of an “end to rehab” count down we now have a “baby due date” countdown of May 4th!!! We are so excited for the arrival of Landon Brennan! We have learned not to try to plan. We are trying hard to live life in the moment and enjoy what we are doing in the present day. As long as we are together we’re happy!
